Bayramov: Return of four villages to Azerbaijan positively contributes to normalization process

The return of four villages to Azerbaijan makes a positive contribution to the normalization process, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said in a press conference with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Islamabad.

“The recently reached agreement on the delimitation of a certain part of the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia and the return of the villages to Azerbaijan is a positive contribution to the process of normalizing the situation. Azerbaijan is committed to the peace process, and we hope that it will yield positive results to ensure the prosperity and security of the region for all countries,” Bayramov said.

It should be noted that a 12.7-kilometer-long border line was defined as part of the delimitation works. As a result, on May 24, villages Baghanis Ayrum, Ashagh Askipara, Kheyrimli, and Ghezilhajili came under Azerbaijan’s control.
